With some resemblance to a well-known fable, the SAT grants the second extension for the migration to Billing version 3.3 on day November 22, 2017 and also pointed out five aspects applicable to it:

  1. The validity of this version began on July 1, 2017, which will be optional until December 31, 2017 and mandatory from January 1, 2018.
  2. The issuance of vouchers with the payment supplement will be optional until March 31, 2018.
  3. As of July 1, 2018, the approval process for electronic bill cancellation will take effect.
  4. Errors in product codes or unit of measure keys will be tolerated until June 30, 2018, later considered as an infraction and will cause fines.
  5. Adjustments to these facilities will be published.

As an aside, it is important to remember that the legal process for the existence of a law is:

  • Enactment
  • Publication
  • Start of validity
  • Obligatory nature

that in this case, the Secretaría de Hacienda programmed at different times, due to the technological adaptation of this version.

Another aspect to take care of, is that as of January 1, 2018, the use of version 3.2 will be subject to penalties ranging from $ 1,350 to $ 13,450 for violation committed, according to article 84 of the Código Fiscal de la Federación (CFF).

For the above described estimated contributor, we ask that even though this story seems to Peter and the Wolf , do not neglect the situation, check with your accounting team for this migration and verify with your trusted accountant, to avoid setbacks and fines.

From the Despacho Contable de Xalapa we invite you to anticipate this transfer, to take care of your peace of mind and we also wish that this December, be a season of abundance and wellbeing for you and yours.
